Former Teacher Charged with Sex Assaults

McLean
Police District – Following a year-long investigation, detectives charged
a 73-year-old McLean man with three counts of indecent liberties and one
of abduction with intent to defile involving four of his former students.
Christopher R. Kloman, of Julie Avenue, taught at the Potomac School in
McLean from 1965 until 1994. Later, he taught at schools in Maryland and
most recently worked there as a substitute teacher until the
investigation began. Police arrested Kloman around 1 p.m. on Friday,
November 16 and transported him to the Fairfax County Adult Detention
Center.

The
investigation began when police received a report in November 2011 from a
woman who reported that she was molested by Kloman as a 12-year-old;
43-years earlier. He had been one of her elementary school teachers. She
reported the incident to the Washington Episcopal School, where she ran
into him and saw that he was teaching children.

The
investigation revealed additional victims; all girls between the ages of
12 and 14 when the alleged offenses occurred between 1968 and 1969. While
police believe there may be additional victims, they have no evidence
indicating that any of these incidents occurred since the early 1980’s.
